+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I strongly believe that Endo's best ever were the severely under appreciated ONOFF S-Forged irons... Yup the ones that are almost 5 years old, for me the light trailing edge relief combined with the leading edge grind and compact size take the cake. Taking second place would be the 2013 Vokey Forged then behind that the PRGR & Yamaha players wedges. With all those CB358 players loving their irons, it's surprising we let ONOFF's tour wedge fade away and now ONOFF has no more in stock and doesn't plan to replace them soon. These are so good they rank in my top 5 list of favorite wedges: - Modart Custom - Buchi Custom - Toyoshima Wedge - ONOFF S-Forged - Cold Forged Vokey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 My ALL TIME fav is the Epon Technity wedge in Copper Not sure why the ONOFF's have never received the praise they are due.They just flat out perform and feel amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 These one i will agree are very good simplemand feel amazing But the yamaha black forged from 2008 are better and i very much disagree withthemvokeys i think they are too light to thin And just a very generic wedgein comparison to many others. Syard bolds forminstance whist,not every ones cup of tea atke some beating as well The ones above myplaying partnerbhas about 10 sets of as spares hell never use anyhting else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Cold forged is a stud, the only thing generic about them is that they are from Titleist but other than that the loft/bounce/grind options are the biggest in JDM land. What's this light and thin stuff? There is a grind for nearly everyone in that line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
604_skyline Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 were the tourstage mr-23 us wedges made by endo? the 2004 version was my favourite of the mr-23 wedges series (03 us-spec 04 us- spec made with 99.9% pure fe and then the 05 maru x-wedge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevopagolf Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think the stuff Endo has done for Titleist be it wedges or irons are superb. I played the RF551 vs. the VG3's I have from 2010 this weekend and the VG3's still win out. The tungsten weight in the sole of the longer irons is subtle but huge....

Mjr. D Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Epon copper wedge from 06. NOTHING felt better than that thing. Why I sold it I'll never know. Those onoffs still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the RF551 with Roddio I-6 and also the 2012 VG3 with stock graphite and came to the same conclusion. While the Epon/Roddio is very good, I have the same better and more consistent result with the VG3 on mid irons.

idrive Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Epon copper wedge from 06. NOTHING felt better than that thing. Why I sold it I'll never know. Those onoffs still available? Yup, the ol Technity - X wedge. For those that never had a chance to see or hit them.... you really missed out. They were a large part of what sucked me into the JDM World. IMO this is when Epon was really emerging into the premier brand they were/are. Haven't set the world on fire as of late but for awhile they were top dog. Complete with copper carbon fiber ferrules. Minimalistic!!!! For the record I have a 52-56-60 that have a ton of play and practice on them. My son has them in his bag now and I can't pry them out regardless of what I dangle in front of him. You'd be amazed how good they still look. Still don't think there's anything that performs any better and certainly nothing that feels better. .

Mjr. D Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yep those are the ones. My first Japanese club. Never felt anything like it since. Truly incredible. Got me hooked as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yes I still have a 50* copper from years back. Tario was still in Toronto then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 They are stunning, I can see why you referred me to these in the absence of the toyos Chris. Why wont Epon release a players compact wedge with similar grind. Endo obviously have the inside track on performance and eye pleasing wedges if they produce such beauties as these.

daamartin Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 The old Technitys yep they were weighty and had a brilliant grind....and I agree with Supo about the raw 2008 Yammies - my favourites for full shots and current gamers. Also love the JP Titleist forged 62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 The closest thing to the original Technity wedge in size is the Endo made Titleist TVD Forged, not the same but the size and forgiveness gets close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-500 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I've tried Yamaha 2011 and Epon 208 but so far Royal Collection DB forged are the best I've gamed. Good feel and spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mob Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Underrated, but I love my Epon 210KGX wedges. They play great. Feel is perfect, good turn interaction. The only negative is that the spin is average. Course all wedges are average in spine after playing Yururi's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 have these in 50 54 and love them I just use a spinny 58 on those short side nippers Are those the Shimada black Ks if they are you got exactly the same setup with ferrules and all :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejays Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Ian, are you using the Royal Collection DB Grind Wedge that you are referring to? I am playing the Royal Collection 6150TG wedges and they are great, thinking to get another set...either Royal Collection DB Grind or the DB Double Milled wedge. Anyone played the DB Double Milled Wedge vs. DB Grind? Edited August 29, 2014 by bluejays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone played the DB Double Milled Wedge vs. DB Grind? i got a set of the DB ws 52-56 in a special finish , like a golen choclate copper. going to bag them on sudnay, again they really have some spin, have them shafted with KBS back tour X , get an extra kick with them, bit more distance, superb spin on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
